Bad Neighbours (triple j Live at the Wireless, Enmore Theatre, Sydney 2024) Songtext
von Middle Kids

"Hope" is an underrated word
That I heard when I was younger
Before the anger
Now the pain is like a rope ′round my hands
You'd understand if you′ve been hurt like I was
If you had bad neighbours
The year I forgot what a smile was

Just when I'm breaking free
I can't quite hold it all together
I, I


Thoughts beating on a talking drum
That is forever, what I feel like
I was a disconnected red hoodie
Living for the highlight reel like
"Oh my God, she′s going down
She is most beautiful when drowning"
I was always counting
But no one ever found me

Just when I′m breaking free
I can't quite hold it all together
Just when I′m breaking free
I can't quite hold it all, hold it all
I, I

In my dreams, we′re going down
Oh my God, we're going down
In my dreams, we′re going down
Oh my God, we're going down

Just when I'm breaking free
I can′t quite hold it all together
Just when I′m breaking free
I can't quite hold it all
